today would have been jerry garcia’s 70th birthday- so i have been listening to one of my favorite of his musical moments on repeat…celebrating…try and not shed a tear as you feel all of the cosmos conspiring together some time ago… way out in space… to beam down this sacredly beautiful pedal steel solo into the brain and out of the hands of a young jerry garcia- who, as we all know, is a widely celebrated figure in music…but i feel a lot of folks don’t know his secret magic on the pedal steel…on such tracks as CSNY’s “teach your children” or perhaps my personal favorite- “laughing” from david crosby’s beautifully surreal “if i could only remember my name.” this is dubbed from my personal vinyl copy and sounds so good n old n gritty- even in it’s new digital home.
